Around the Majors Monday
— Fernando Tatis Jr. continues to add to his young baseball legacy. The second-year player leads the majors with 11 home runs and 28 RBIs after delivering a three-run shot and a grand slam in the Padres’ 14-4 dismantling of the Rangers. Tatis put the game out of reach with his eighth-inning blast before his bases-loaded bomb capped the Padres’ scoring in his 108th big league game. The two homers raised his average to .305.
— Brad Miller hit a tiebreaking two-run double in the seventh inning of the Cardinals’ 3-1 win over the Cubs in Game 1 of a doubleheader. St. Louis improved to 3-1 since it returned Saturday after a coronavirus outbreak derailed their season, leaving them idle for weeks and resulting in 18 confirmed cases in the organization.
— The Cubbies ended the season-worst, four-game skid in the nightcap as David Bote belted a three-run homer in a four-run sixth that pushed them to a 5-4 victory. St. Louis wasted a big performance by Miller, who homered twice and drove in three runs in Game 2.
— Dansby Swanson slammed a two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to cap the Braves’ four-run rally against Daniel Hudson in a 7-6 triumph over the Nationals. Washington led 6-3 in the ninth until Adam Duvall hit a two-run shot.
— Pete Alonso and Robinson Cano each homered twice as the Mets crushed the Marlins, 11-4 to end a three-game losing streak. Alonso and Cano each had three of New York’s 14 hits.
— Luke Voit homered twice in the Yankees’ 10th consecutive win over the rival Red Sox, 6-3. Aroldis Chapman picked up the save in his return from the COVID-19 injured list, helping New York get its sixth straight victory overall.
— Nelson Cruz Jr. smacked a pair of solo homers and six pitchers combined on a seven-hitter in the Twins’ 4-1 victory against the Royals. Cruz surpassed Duke Snider and tied Mark Teixeira with his 409th career homer, good for 55th all-time.
— Tim Anderson and Luis Robert each hit two of the White Sox’s six home runs in a 7-2 decision over the Tigers. Yoan Moncada and Danny Mendick also left the yards for Chicago, which banged out four consecutive home runs in Sunday’s win over the Cardinals.
— Kike Hernandez launched a two-run homer that capped the Dodgers' five-run eighth in their sixth straight win, 11-9 against the Mariners. Mookie Betts also homered and Corey Seager added a three-run blast for Los Angeles.
— David Peralta slapped a bases-loaded single with one out in the ninth inning to give the Diamondbacks their fifth straight win and ninth in 12 games, 4-3 over the Athletics. Nick Ahmed atoned for a game-tying error by leading off the ninth with a double and scoring the winning run, helping Arizona move above .500 for the first time this season.
— The Angels came away with a 7-6 win over the Giants after Tommy La Stella hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning. Mike Trout hit his 10th homer and Albert Pujols had a two-run double to help Los Angeles halt a four-game slide.
— Hyun Jin Ryu pitched six innings of four-hit ball as the Blue Jays whipped the Orioles, 7-2. Randal Grichuk homered and drove in four runs to back Ryu.
